VERBAL CLASH Id THE COURT TODAY

.William F. Brown, Colored, Proves Quite an Obstreperous Witness.

Life of the circuit court was enlivened on Wednesday morning when William P. Drown, colored, dealer In second hand goods and proprietor of a storage bouse was hauled before Judge Fox to testify in a proceeding; supplementary to an execution of Judgment obtained by the law firm of Freeman and Freeman, who are representing the Interests of Pearl and James Carpenter, who have a judgment of approximately i0 and costs against Brown for damages done to some furniture which Brown stored. The hearing ended unsatisfactorily, with the hair of the court and the attorneys badly ruffled, also with the court ordering Brown to appear again Saturday morning and instructing that the sheriff be given a writ of attachment to serve on Brown's wife, com- , pelllng her presence at this time. It so happened that both Brown and Attorney I J. Freeman stepped from the court room about the same time and had Quite a lively verbal mixup. They proceeded down the three flights of stairs and onto the street, still engaged in heated argument. Sheriff Bteen was afraid the two might carry on their argument in a different manner and followed them out of the court house. Brown evaded questions propounded and refused to bind himself to any direct assertions, relative to what he possessed at any time, exceyting that he said be now owned little more than the clothes on his back. The attorneys questioned him about carrying a roll of bills as big as one's fist; about having money In tho bank; whether he owned ten or a hundred cooking and heating stoves, and numerous other like questions. The negro aid be had assigned the store to his wife, whom he claimed put up tho money for it originally, In October, accepting $700 for what It contained. He said that what the store now contained, excepting atorage, he would sell for $50. A Good Talks ' Clara Ta Mrs. Flitter a good conversationalist? - - Dorotby-Yta, Indeed.

A LEAGOEMEETIIIG Held by Epworth Society at Cambridge City.

(Palladium Special) Cambridge City, Ind., June 28.

The twenty-second annual convention

cf the Richmond District Epworth League is in session In Cambridge City. Notwithstanding inclement weather, the delegates began arriving

ear.y Tuesday morning. The sessions

throughout the day, were full of enthusiasm. Tuesday forenoon was devoted to a ministerial session. Rev.

J. E. Coffin welcoming the guests.

This was followed by an address on "Ministerial Equipment" by J. E. Williams, and "Have We Made Progress?" by M. Lk Hardingham. J. II. Runkle opened the afternoon session with a talk on "Carefulness of Details," and the Importance attaching to little things. A synopsis The church was discussed by. M. R. Pierce and F. M. Lacy, under the heads "Its Demands on the Preachers' Time," and "Its Responsibility to Its Various Needs." by F. M. Lacy. District Superintendent Guild, of Richmond, gave an interesting and instructing talk on "The District and Its Needs," showing that success depends uon the hearty co-operation of all points in tho district, as well as the different organizations in societies In the church.

Lord Brougham's Oratory. We have no orator In the least like Lord Brougham nince the close of Brougham's public career. Everything that nature could do so far as appearance, manner and voice were concerned she had clone to prevent him from being a great orator, and yet a great orator be undoubtedly was. I wonder what the bouse of lords just now would think of a peer who gesticulated and bellowed as Brougham was In the habit of dolus. But it was Impossible to listen to Brougham and not be carried away by the force of bla Intellect, by his torrent of words, by the sudden whirl and eddy of his rapid Illustrations and by the longer and shorter stretches of quietude and repose into which his argument occasionally flowed. From Justin McCarthy's "Remlnlncences."

Not to Bo Expected. "Pshaw!" exclaimed the professor to the student who was rehearsing his Latin oration. "Ton are too solemn There's no life In your speaking." MOf course not.1 responded the student, lively enough. Too don't expect tt In dead lancuage. do you?

THREE KENTUCKIANS

PUT UNDER ARREST Three Kentucky mountaineers were

arrested by Patrolmen Edwards and

Hebble last evening on North Eleventh street, for drunk. They are typical mountain people, using the peculiar dialect of the southern hills and displaying extreme ignorance. They live In Fairview, being employed by a road contractor and imported from their native state. One of the men, Charles Bray, claimed that he had been struck in the head with some instrument and knocked unconscious While senseless he says he was robbed of several dollars. The other two men are Joe Todd and Sam Maple. All were fined for drunk.

BUSINESS LETTERS. Writo to a Man Just You Would Talk to Him at Your Desk, Business letter writing is no longer merely "correspondence," but "literature," and the correspondent who formerly wasted his precious breath on such Inanities as "Yours received and contents duly noted" is now relegated to the "old school" class, and unless be is willing to adopt the new rules of letter writing be is likely to change not only bis position; but find it necessary to change his vocation as well. The up to date business man does not waste time Indulging in the preliminaries of "I beg to acknowledge receipt" or "In reply would say." but goes straight to the subject at issue firmly, without frills, even eliminating the time worn advice. "Awaiting your early reply," and closing without the absurdity of "Begging to remain." "Write to a man exactly as you would talk to bim if he were sitting at your desk," is the maxim of one of the best authorities on letter writing In Chicago. By eliminating useless phrases having no bearing on tbe subject the business man not only saves his own time in dictating, but that of his stenographer in transcribing the notes. By the old method of letter writing the opening and closing of letters contained almost five lines of useless "form" matter which would average on 100 letters just 500 lines of superfluous effort.

A Celebrated Suicide. Haydon. tbe celebrated historical painter and writer, overcome by debt, disappointment and ingratitude, laid down tbe brush with which he was. at work upon bis last great effort, "Alfred snd tbe Trial by Jury." wrote with a steady hand. "Stretch me no longer upon this rough world." and then with a pistol shot not an end to his unhappy existence.

UP III CITY COURT ; : v Were Members of the Oneida ! Club Today.

Bob Divenney, head of the Oneida Club, which was raided and about a dozen members arrested Saturday night, was In police court this morning Divenney being charged with keeping a gaming device. The Saturday's meeting, must have been an interesting but slightly mysterious one, according to the witnesses. The chief amusement, as it was developed by Prosecutor Ladd, seems to have been throwing pool balls. The police had been attracted to the scene by the noise caused by the throwing of pool balls. They found the negroes "hiking" down the stairs attempting to escape, but only one or two got away, going over the back roof. The club is Ideated in the third story of a building near Fifth and Main streets. Allen Clay, a constable, who was arrested there said that he would have stopped the racket only he had a bicycle in the ball and he was looking for some one to hold it while he went to get the brawling negroes. When searched Devinney was relie

ved of some dice. In police court he said the dice belonged to Lacy McConnell. This negro had given Devinney his pocket book, the latter said, and when DevinTiey opened the pocket book the dice came out in bis pocket. McConnell, Devinney claimed, had left town, and so he could not find him to identify the goods. Of the ten negroes who testified all claimed to have been in rooms other than the one in which the fighting occurred.

Good Hunting. It was at St. Andrews, in Scotland, the home of golf, where the links stretch away over the moors by the sea, and dear, quiet Aunt Mary had gone up from London to visit a golfing family of nephews and nieces. At tea the first afternoon some one managed to stop talking golf long enough to ask, "Well, Aunt Mary, and bow did you spend the morning?" "Oh, I enjoyed myself Immensely, my dear. I went for a walk on the moor. "A good many people seemed to be about, 'and some of them called out to me in a most eccentric manner, but I didn't take any notice of them. And, oh, my dear, I found such a number of curious little round things! i brought them borne to ask you what they are." Hereupon Aunt Mary opened her workbag and produced twenty-four golf balls.

HAS RETIRED FROM ACTIVE BUSINESS (National -News Association) Kenosha, Wis, June 28. Nathan Allen, the millionaire whose money is said to have paid for the fortune in jewels possessed by Mrs. Helen Dwells Jenkins, which the government alleges was smuggled into- New York, has quit, active business. The announcement that he bad retired as head of the leather inn of N. R. Allen and Sons company, was made at the office of that concern today. Several months ago Allen resigned from the directorate of the First National bank of Kenosha, to make room for younger generations of Aliens. Whether Allen will retire from several other big business enterprises is not known. He has big holdings in the U. S. Steel Corporation and in the Chicago city railways. Although the Aliens deny it, Kenosha citizens say that Mrs. Jenkins, spent .about four months, in Kenosha several years ago as the guest of Mr. .Allen. About the time Allen returned from his trip abroad two years ago,, there, was a rumor of estrangement with. his. wife,. but this was hushed up.

PURE GLYCERIN.

' 1 It la a Queer Substance Endowed With I Peculiar Properties. One of the great advantages of glycerin in its chemical employment Is tbe fact that it neither freezes nor evaporates under any ordinary temperature. No perceptible loss by evaporation has been detected at a temperature less than 200 degrees F., but If heated intensely It decomposes , with a smell that few persons find themselves able to endure. It burns with a pale flame, similar to that from alcohol, if heated to about 300 degrees and then Ignited. Its nonevaporative qualities make the compound of much use as a vehicle for holding pigments and col-i ors, as in stamping and typewriter ribbons, carbon papers and the like. If the pure glycerin be exposed for a long time to a freezing temperature it crystallizes with the appearance of sugar candy, but these crystals being once melted it is almost an impossibility to get them again into the congealed state. If a little water be added to the glycerin no crystallization will take place, though under a sufficient degree of cold the water will separate and form crystals, amid which, the glycerin will remain In its natural state of fluidity. If suddenly subjected to intense cold pure glycerin will form a gummy mass which cannot be entirely hardened er crystallized. Altogether it is quite a peculiar substance.
